[Milsurplus] Radio-less trainers

[Dan]

Well when I was in USAF pilot training class 53-C we started in T-6G's
and had VHF radio's. we used both light signals and radio. All systems
had 28 VDC and starters. The G model did not have provisions for the
inertia starters that were on the earlier models.
If I remember correctly the 54 or 55 classes started in the twin engine
T-38 Talon. Your first ride was known as the "Dollar ride" was
supersonic. With full blown avionics package UHF, ADF, basic flight
director and TACAN. Light guns to this day are standard equipment in
towers. LF and HF are all history.
